Feta cheese is not harmful to an unborn child in any way. Actually, the calcuim in cheese is good for the mother and the baby.

What is the healthier feta or mozzarella cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not if you are watching fat content. Goat cheese has a higher fat content than cheese from cows. However, goat's cheese has some nutrients that are little more or more readily available (plus it does not contain lactose) which might make it a more healthier choice than cheese from cows. But that isn't to say that goats milk is still healthier than cow's milk cheese, because both are just as healthy as the other. It's just a matter of opinion as to which you think is best.

Is feta cheese the same as goat cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the recipe, but probably not. Goat cheese is more delicate flavored and not as salty. It has a different texture, too. Feta is chunky, whereas goat cheese is more crumbly. If all you're doing is crumbling it into a salad, it's probably OK (but remember that feta is much sharper tasting). But if cooking is involved, I don't think it would work well.

Does feta contain gluten?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. It is natural in milk and all cheeses. BUT, Imported feta cheese is usually made with goat's or sheep's milk, as is the original Greek feta cheese.

Most people that are allergic to cow milk products or who are lactose intolerant can use goat and sheep milk products. The lactose or protein in the milk is what usually causes the allergic reaction or intolerance. Goat & sheep milk both have lactose and protein but it is of a different make up that doesn't bother most people. This info is from http://www.foodreference.com/html/ffetacheese.html

Feta Cheese Selection and StorageThe finest feta cheese should be purchased direct from its brine bath. If it is pre-packaged, it should have some of the brine in the packaging to keep it moist. Feta cheese is best when eaten fresh, so always check the date. If you will not be consuming it immediately, store feta cheese in a brine or milk bath. The milk bath will reduce the saltiness and help keep the cheese moist and mild in flavor. Properly stored in brine or milk and refrigerated, feta cheese will last up to 3 months. Feta cheese is not a candidate for freezing.
